Switch domain via Cloudflare without reinstall
Pointing a new GEO or brand at your store should not require reinstalling the engine. DNS is the switch; the VPS and license should stay put.
What this is
Change the Cloudflare A record or CNAME to your existing VPS IP — license, database, and admin stay on the server. Add a subdomain for a new GEO or spin a second copy on another IP from your license pool.
How it works in NitroCart
- Same IP: update Cloudflare DNS — store answers on new hostname immediately.
- New GEO copy: deploy second VPS, point subdomain to new IP.
- Engine settings → License: second IP consumes one slot (Start 3, Pro 5, Enterprise 10).
- SSL: desktop deployer or Mini App handles certificate on deploy.
Who it is for
- Media buyers launching GEO subdomains on existing infra.
- Agencies pointing client domains to deployed copies.
- Operators rebranding without migrating databases.
Workflow
- Open Cloudflare DNS for the target hostname.
- Set A record to the NitroCart VPS IP.
- Wait for propagation and verify SSL.
- Update site URL in admin if the canonical domain changed.
- Confirm Engine settings → License still shows VALID.
FAQ
Reinstall after domain change?
No — DNS only for same VPS.
Multiple subdomains, one IP?
Yes — Cloudflare can route several hostnames to one IP.
License tied to domain?
Tied to server IP, not hostname.
